[QUOTE="WTFm8, post: 3768446, member: 73537"] Don’t waste your time/fuel driving in to find out you’re not needed. Don’t do preload as a cover driver, tell them you want evening work doing local sort. DOT 14 hours start when you start, so if you start preload at 3am and driving starts at 9am, you have to be off the clock at 5pm. IDK about your building but there aren’t many that get routes done that early, plus they’re pushing this mandatory 9.5hr crap pretty hard. Call in every day 1-1.5hrs before your driving start time to see if you’re needed, you’re a cover so you’re not guaranteed hours. I call every morning for the last 10 months at 7:10 with a 8:45 start. Some days I’m told no but I’m up next and to keep my phone on me till 9 incase there’s a last minute call-off. Sometimes they have me come in a few hours early to do some pickups or an airport run then stay and work ‘local sort’ unloading trucks. [/QUOTE]
